In the future, the MegaCorp Cool-Toyz Inc created a series of Living Toys called Ultra Pets. At first these seemed like the absolute perfect pets, until a mutation transformed all of them into violent monsters. With humanity gone a trio of unlikely heroes has risen up. Gori: an adorable cat and one of the only surviving Ultra Pet prototypes, F.R.A.N.K: a sentient hoverboard with energy blades and a foul mouth, and CH1-P: a somber A.I who operates the team's spaceship. Together the trio embark on a quest to take down the Adorable Army, find their missing creator Professor Y, and discover the truth behind the toy uprising.

- Bears Are Bad News: The Bear in a Box in a giant jack-in-the-box that walks around on spider legs and has the head of a bear with its skin peeled off. It’s also very vocal about its intent to brutally murder Gori.

- Monster Clown: The Carnival Freak is one.
- Neon City: One of these is the setting for the first level.

- Turned Against Their Masters: Something caused the Ultra Pets to mutate into violent monsters who wiped out humanity.
